Hey guys ive been having trouble with my Kindle HD 7 2nd gen for the past couple of days, ive owned it for a few years and decided it was time to root it and put a proper android OS on it, but ever since i rooted it it will no longer show up in My Computer to let me transfer files to complete the android os install. Before i rooted it transferring files was a cinch. Im running WIndows 7 Home on this comp, i tried connecting to to the Windows 8 pc downstairs and still nothing. The Kindle does still show up as recognized in Devices and Printers. Also the current system version of the kindle is 7.5.1 Update, i tried my sister's Kindle and it connected fine.
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

i have viewed many ways to root the kindle fire hd 7", and tried many processes, but somethings not working right. i have the adb drivers installed (i think, windows 7 tells me it is installed) but i cant see my device when i type adb devices in cmd. i also am not very experienced working in cmd, so i might be doing something wrong there. i have rooted the kindle fire about a year ago, but this one's giving me trouble for some reason. can anyone help me solve this issue?
Yeah, I had recently rooted my Kindle Fire (1st Gen). I plugged in my Kindle fire and it was recognized as a Portable Device the first time, suggesting the drivers were changed again. I plugged it in again not to long after and the Kindle Fire just charges... it isn't recognized by the computer at all. The computer says that the "Device drivers were not successfully installed" though, probably implying something went wrong I guess... at this point, what can I do? It's not being recognized in any way.
You need to go to the first generation threads and ask your questions these threads are for 2nd generation and hd models.

Hi,
i'm using Kindle Fier HD 7'' with CM10.1 - most works fine, but i'm really upset about the transfer speed.
A 2GB-File needs about 15-20 Minutes to transfer from my computer to Kindle (USB2.0). Tried it on different computers with the same result.
I use the cable that was delivered with the kindle, OS was Win7x64 and winXP.
IMHO this is very slow. Is it normal? Am i doing something wrong, anyone suggestions for me?

this its normal , try to flash the newest update (link here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245335 ) and tell me what hapend , i use to have the same problem with the older builds then flash the new and its working good
USB 1.1
You should check your host and cable, that equates to about 12Mb/sec, which is top speed for USB1.1... With that being said, I was only getting 28Mbit/sec when transferring the latest CM ROM via ADB on my KFHD7.
Hello Guys!
I currently own a Kindle Fire 7" HD 7.4.6(Rooted) but I have a little problem getting my kindle to show up on 'My Computer' (Trying to transfer some music to my device) I have looked everywhere for this one specific question that I cant find an answer to hopefully it could be solved here... Anyways before my device was rooted Windows couldn't detect the device plugged in but here is the confusing part after I found out about rooting, I went on to try to do it and I managed to successfully root the kindle (following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351201) installed the ADB drivers and yes "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31" program did detect my Kindle and rooted it which is weird because I mean Windows couldnt detect my kindle but that program did? I can plug in my kindle and it is detected as an ADB and even shows up in my device manager, but my question is, how do I get my kindle to be recognized so I can manage it (i.e. adding music/pictures) Another weird thing is that yes my kindle is detected but you know the sound that Windows makes when you plug something in via USB? Well when I plug in my kindle that sound is different I dont know if it has anything to do with this problem... Well that is my question hopefully someone will come to save the day!
Is the kindle listed under portable devices in the device manager?

Actually, no it doesnt, when I go in Device manager it has its own little tab called Kindle and when I click on the plus sign next to it it says ADB

Plug your Kindle Fire HD in to USB port. Go to your device management. Look for the driver that is being detected right now. Right click on it and click and choose properties. Click to uninstall the driver. Now unplug the KFHD and plug it back in. Let the driver install. This should fix it. Restarting your computer after uninstalling the driver might be tried as well. removing the root hubs is sometimes necessary as well.
Hey Guys,
I spent today trying to root my Kindle Fire HD 7, 4th gen (i think). After trying for ages it coudnt get it work so i decided to give up. when shutting it down in the recovery mode screen, i hit the power button while it was over the option reboot bootloader or something like that.
Now the Kindle will not turn and when i plug it into my pc, it is showing as an HTC Dream.
What i want to know have i broken it completely or is there away i can undo what i have done.
I updated my fire to os 5 and my windows operating system is 10.
cheers.
